ZAHRAN AL JANUB; I DISCOVERED
GOOGLE CHROME
I have been wondering for quite some time now if I can “copy-paste” a Google map to my hard disc.
MY TOWN FOR THE
LAST 30 YEARS
When
I discovered Google Maps, I was instantly awestruck not by its simplicity of use, but by the sheer beauty of its functionality. I felt like a bird—not quite!
Maybe a helicopter rider…, but not exactly either! A
spirit…absolutely!!!
Try
it…If it is not, how are spirits supposed to hover from one place to another in the blink of an eye? I spent hours hovering over places I had been to in the
past.
The red arrow at the top indicates our clinic and home. The other red
arrow is the town’s central mosque.
I was
so desperate to capture souvenirs of the air from memorable places I had been to in
the past that I took pictures of it with my 5MP mobile phone, but the results were
frustratingly less sharp.
Today,
I discovered Google Chrome screenshot…wow!
I was in Doha for a week two years ago. I used to walk along the corniche every night.

If
Google Chrome is your browser, but like me, who didn’t know that there are hundreds of cool, really cool free extensions on their website, then this is for
you. We all have different reasons for staying online and various purposes for using our laptops and desktops. For that reason, I will not recommend what to download and what not to download on your hardware. I assure you, you will spend hours, if not days, surfing along the hundreds of extensions with ahs and wows. I
picked one where the picture on Facebook instantly enlarges whenever the cursor passes
over it. You don’t have to double-click to see the big picture. It was amusing
at first, but then it became very annoying as cluster photos like popcorn keep popping at your face as you scroll down :-)
